    Damn. Slashdot should really support BB markup, or forums should accept certain HTML. Or I should pay more attention. :(

    1. That is not an official rule. I've quite thoroughly gone through every little tiny seemingly insignificant available rule when writing Atlantik/monopd.

    2. Although obviously there's no physical money, I did of course write the ever-so-popular "Free Parking collects fines" rule as option. ;-)

  3. Or you could.. by Rob+Kaper · · Score: 1 · on The MySpace Ecosystem

    ..write your own and make it suck less.

    But don't all be like me. ;-)

    Google block queries as well and not just in China.

    Bluetooth device IDs can be forged, so if someone knows the ID of a paired device they can easily gain access, so this isn't a good idea. As long as you have a device that requires you to accept incoming objects (v-cards/images/mp3s/etc) you should be fine. Never accept an incoming object unless you trust the source - it's kind of like e-mail.

    Atlantik is quite good.

  7. MSN Premium by tepples · · Score: 1 · on 360 Live Arcade Details Out

    So you seriously count narrowband gaming as a significant facor in anything at this point?

    There are plenty of casual games that work fine with throughput < 2 Kbytes/s and latency > 500ms. Does chess need broadband? Does a monopolistic property trading game need broadband? Does a multiplayer tetramino game need broadband?

    So you seriously count narrowband gaming as a significant facor in anything at this point? And why are you billing MS just for internet service?

    I'm not necessarily billing Microsoft for the whole deal. Even so, if both the local cable company and the local telephone company have high speed Internet products that come "with MSN Premium", then I'm still paying Microsoft.

    Xbox Live is not perfect, but it is FAR ahead of anything Sony or Nintendo are offering and even seem to be offering any time soon.

    But in geographic areas without affordable residential broadband Internet access, such as most of the United States of America, Nintendo still has the same-screen multiplayer market cornered.
